Fig. 2 a is to be the conversion of signals of different rates and agreement multiport, the multi-protocols of STS-48SONET form, the diagrammatic representation of many speed Line cards according to the embodiment of the invention.The Line cards 204 that is described in detail in conjunction with Fig. 3 below is arranged to receiving inputted signal 208 on port 210, and input signal is mapped as or is converted to the output signal 212 that can offer base plate port 214.Reach about 16 or more a plurality of port 210 though Line cards 204 generally is configured to comprise,, only show the situation that on Line cards 204, comprises four ports 210 for illustrated simple.
In described embodiment, Line cards 204 is arranged to the output signal 212 that input signal 208 is mapped as the STS-48SONET form.For example, OC-3 input signal 208a is mapped as the output signal 212a of STS-48SONET form by Line cards 204.Similarly, OC-12 input signal 208b is mapped as the output signal 212b of STS-48SONET form by Line cards 204, in fact OC-48 input signal 208c is not shone upon by Line cards 204, and be transmitted basically and passed through Line cards 204, formed the output signal 212c of STS-48SONET form.
Except being suitable for receiving OC-3, OC-12 and the OC-48 signal, Line cards 204 also is suitable for receiving the gigabit Ethernet signal.Input signal 208d on the shown port 210 is exactly the gigabit Ethernet signal.Input signal 208d can be mapped as the output signal 212d of STS-48 form in Line cards 204.Therefore no matter be what agreement, each is received by Line cards 204 and the input signal 208 that shines upon all is mapped as the output signal 212 with common type.
In the port 210 each can be configured to accept the flow of particular types usually.Though each port 210 can be configured to accept in OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 or the gigabit Ethernet signal any one, each port 210 generally is configured to essence and only accepts the discharge pattern that receives that each port 210 is expected.Therefore, because input signal 208a is the OC-3 signal, so the port 210 of receiving inputted signal 208a generally is configured to accept the OC-3 signal.
It is suitable unprocessed form that Line cards 204 is configured to the STS-48SONET conversion of signals that receives, and promptly is mapped as the form of STS-48SONET form.Fig. 2 b becomes multiport, the multi-protocols of their unprocessed form, the diagrammatic representation of many speed Line cards (for example Line cards 204 among Fig. 2 a) according to the conversion of signals the STS-48SONET form of the embodiment of the invention.When receiving STS-48SONET signal 212 ' on base plate port 214, Line cards 204 can be studied to determine whether signal 212 ' is created from OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 or gigabit Ethernet signal signal 212 '.In case determined the form of signal 212 ' before converting the STS-48SONET form to, just can be from signal 212 ' reconstruction signal 208 ' effectively.For example, Line cards 204 definite signal 212a' are original is the OC-3 signal.Like this, Line cards 204 just is mapped as or is converted to OC-3 signal 208a ' to signal 212a'.
Usually, establishment can comprise free time, sky or zero input from the STS-48SONET of different-format signal, and it is the STS-48SONET form that these inputs are used to the signal map such as OC-3, OC-12 and gigabit Ethernet signal.Next with reference to figure 2c, will signal creation STS-48SONET signal from different rates or agreement be described according to the embodiment of the invention.The OC-3 signal 230 that receives on multiport, multi-protocols, many speed Line cards 234 is mapped as the signal 238 of the STS-48SONET form that approximately comprises 48 STS-1 frames.Any three STS-1 channels in the STS-48 frame comprise the data from OC-3 signal 230 effectively, and 45 remaining STS-1 channels are with idle, zero, AIS, random data or can be in fact that any other valid data are filled effectively.Simple for what discuss, remaining being filled in here of STS-1 channel will generally be discussed by the free time with the back, but is to be understood that any in fact information can be used for filling remaining STS-1 channel.For clarity sake, first three the STS-1 channel in the signal 238 is shown as including the data from the OC-3 signal, but any three STS-1 channels can be used for carrying the data from the OC-3 signal.Similarly, the OC-12 signal 238 that receives on the Line cards 234 is mapped as the signal 242 of STS-48SONET form, wherein any 12 the STS-1 channels in the STS-48 of signal 242 frame all comprise the information from OC-12 signal 238, and 36 STS-1 channels of remainder zero padding of signal 242.For clarity sake, preceding 12 the STS-1 channels in the signal 242 are shown as including data, but any 12 STS-1 channels generally can be used for comprising data.
Because OC-48 signal 246 Line cards 234 mappings in fact of no use, so OC-48 signal 246 is output as STS-48SONET signal 250 from Line cards 234, all comprise the data that are associated with OC-48 signal 246 comprising each the STS-1 frame in signal 250.In other words, each that is included in 48 STS-1 frames in the signal 250 all comprises the data that are associated with OC-48 signal 246.
General, can change gigabit Ethernet signal 254 or be mapped as various continuous cascade or Virtual Concatenation by Line cards 234, described cascade can be included in the output signal 258 that is associated with gigabit Ethernet signal 254.Such cascade includes, but is not limited to STS-1 channel, STS-3c cascade, STS-6c cascade, STS-9c cascade, STS-12c cascade, STS-24c cascade, STS-48c cascade and from 1 to 48STS1-Nv or from the SONET form of 1 to 16STS3c-Yv various Virtual Concatenations.For example, when gigabit Ethernet signal 254 is mapped as the STS-1 cascade, can create the output STS-48SONET signal 258a that comprises the STS-1 channel in the STS-48, so that the information in the gigabit Ethernet signal 254 of being included in is comprised in arbitrary STS-1 channel in the STS-48 frame among the signal 258a, and remaining 47 STS-1 channels with idle, zero, AIS, random data or other payload fill.Same, when gigabit Ethernet signal 254 is mapped as the STS-24c cascade, any 24 STS-1 channels of the STS-48 frame among the signal 258e can comprise the information that is included in the gigabit Ethernet signal 254, and remaining 24 STS-1 channels can be filled with idle, zero, AIS, random data or other payload.
When the base plate by Line cards 234 received the STS-48SONET signal, Line cards 234 can determine which STS-1 channel comprises actual information in the signal, and which the STS-1 channel in the STS-48 frame of signal comprises desired payload.Therefore, can discern the expression of the primary signal that is converted into the STS-48SONET signal.In other words, except creating from primary signal the STS-48SONET signal, Line cards 234 also is suitable in given identification primary signal during from STS-48SONET signal that primary signal is created.For example, in fact the STS-48SONET signal can be OC-3, OC-12 or OC-48 signal by the reduction primary signal that determine to be included in the STS-48SONET signal.
